Dunagain's guide to Treated Boards

Read First

Read the Wood Treatment Guide to understand the basics, and why the K-Values are important.

Using VT to determine your K-Values

There is a new macro in VeggieTales named wttt_k_values which has been designed to help you determine the K-Values of your Wood Treatment Tank.

To use it, pin your Wood Treatment Tank window, and the Treat With... window on its side so it won't interfer with the reading on values, then load a single board into the tank.

Then you start VT and select the script wttt_k_values.lua, press Shift after clicking into the ATITD window.

VT will display this screen:

From there you can follow the suggestion is to raise glossiness to 69 with beeswax (this is explained in detail in the Wood Treatment Guide so I won't elaborate.

Before you add any beeswax, press the Start button then watch the values and add beeswax until Glossiness reaches 69. Keep track of the number of seconds used by the tank. An accuracy of 10 seconds should produce acceptable results (you don't have to add beeswax by 1 second steps!).
